You know why we Germans are so pedantic about data protection? Someone around 90 years ago went through all records available, selected people with certain criteria, with the help of IBM, and then killed them all.

We don't want to be on any list.

And now the US Gov and Musk are trying to get access to all data they have about every person and put them into a big fat DB and run AI over it.

I am afraid what they will do with that.

@bitboxer With the help of IBM? Do you have a source for that?

The truth of the matter is that US big business and some very wealthy people all supported Hilter and fascism
@SaanichGuy @bitboxer @fenkt @MrLaCave (Economic) liberals ALWAYS support fascism. Fascism is the ultimate form of neoliberalism.
@ZoidbergForPresident @SaanichGuy @bitboxer @fenkt @MrLaCave it would really be great at this point in time to have a more lucid and intricate analysis of fascism than this
@pleadthefif @SaanichGuy @bitboxer @fenkt @MrLaCave History showed that already. And is currently repeating itself. Wake up.

Liberalism is the road to fascism and neoliberalism is the motorway equivalent?
